Prediction of the translocon-mediated membrane insertion free energies of protein sequences
MOTIVATION Helical membrane proteins (HMPs) play crucial roles in a variety of cellular processes. Unlike water-soluble proteins, HMPs need not only to fold but also get inserted into the membrane to be fully functional. This process of membrane insertion is mediated by the translocon complex. Thus, it is of great interest to develop computational methods for predicting the translocon-mediated ...
متن کاملFree-energy cost for translocon-assisted insertion of membrane proteins.
Nascent membrane proteins typically insert in a sequential fashion into the membrane via a protein-conducting channel, the Sec translocon. How this process occurs is still unclear, although a thermodynamic partitioning between the channel and the membrane environment has been proposed. Experiment- and simulation-based scales for the insertion free energy of various amino acids are, however, at ...
متن کاملMINS2: Revisiting the molecular code for transmembrane-helix recognition by the Sec61 translocon
UNLABELLED To be fully functional, membrane proteins should not only fold, but also get inserted into the membrane, which is mediated by the Sec61 translocon. Recent experimental studies have attempted to elucidate how the Sec61 translocon accomplishes this delicate task by measuring the translocon-mediated membrane insertion free energies of 357 systematically designed peptides. On the basis o...
متن کاملEnvironmental Transition of Signal-Anchor Sequences during Membrane Insertion via the Endoplasmic Reticulum Translocon
In biogenesis of membrane proteins on the endoplasmic reticulum, a protein-conducting channel called the translocon functions in both the membrane translocation of lumenal domains and the integration of transmembrane segments. Here we analyzed the environments of polypeptide chains during the processes by water-dependent alkylation of N-ethylmaleimide at site-directed Cys residues. Using the te...
متن کاملdetermination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator
due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...
